So, still got this and had a problem develop over the past month or more. Tried posting on the Mini forums but they're like ghost towns, so hoping CS can point me in the right direction. So recently the car's developed a pulsating feel when applying brake pedal, but can only be felt at low...

I'm in Alvaston so just outside the City Centre

Replaced the upper grille (cutout for spots) and spotlights for an umolested grille so I could ditch the spots. Much cleaner.

Cheers mate, yeah was sorted easily. Funny you should mention that, split the rear trim off and resprayed. Caught them once with the pressure washer and they're already bubbling, so going to go for the genuine blacklight kit. Cheers for the link, but found both front and rear light trims...

Coated all the lower trim like arches / skirts / lower spoilers etc in CarPro Dlux yesterday, ran out so need more before I can finish the job (not looking forward to the grilles) Also swapped all interior and exterior lights out for 6500k leds to give a slightly more up to date look.

Sorted now. Interior light fuse had blown. Airbag light now off. Rear light chrome trim removed and sprayed. Plastidip is s**t. Need some of the OE blacklight trim pieces.

What a sh*tty fvck up of a day that turned out to be. Plastidip can suck my balls. Now have front lights black and rear lights fvcking chrome with fvcking overspray every fvcking where to sort out. Also swapping out interior lights to leds has fvcked me right the fvck up. Managed to short...

I wouldn't say immaculate mate 😂 I think in that case i'll get some BCs ordered this summer :grin:

What can I say? It annoys me knowing they're dirty 😂 So tempted to order some BC coilovers, if only it wasn't in warranty! Also thank fVck this plastidip peels off - overspray city:flushed:

No I hated it. Bar the noise it was one of, if not the blandest car i've ever owned. I'll never touch another Audi, unless it's an S1.

Cheers mate. Such an epic car compared to the TT. Yeah they're f**king s**t - they look s**t and are s**t to clean. Who the fvck thought it was a good idea to make the arches look like a fvcking living room floor? Just about to attempt to plastidip the chrome around the headlights, as it's...

Spent the day on the wheels / arches today. First car i've owned that has these nasty fabric arch liners :doublesho Attacked the arches / calipers / suspension setup with a 10% solution of surfex. Wheels were hit with Bilberry / Surfex / Iron X / Tardis and a final Bilberry rinse down. They...

I'm from Derby but more than happy to drive down for a meet.

Very tempted to go ahead and order a Storm Moterwerks titanium plated gear knob....
